.5) How is the double page spread laid out? How much of the pages are taken up by images and how much by text? How does this reflect the audience? What do they value? Most of the pages is taken up by the image. However there is also a lot of text. I think the audience values both text and images.

The band is presented as really tough men who don’t want to be personal, this is because of the sunglasses, we can’t look in their eyes so we can’t see their emotions. Their bodylanguage is also really closed, they actually don’t look really nice to me.
